Fracture Liaison Services

We strive to help you reach and maintain your bone health and prevent future fractures.

A
common cause of bone fracture is osteoporosis. The word osteoporosis literally
means porous bone. With this disease, your bones become less dense on the
inside and more likely to break. A fall, a lifting or twisting motion, or even
a hug can easily break one or more of your bones if you have osteoporosis.

When
a bone with osteoporosis is broken, it’s called a fragility fracture and more
than 1.5 million people suffer these fractures each year. The most common
locations are the wrist, hip and spine.

Bones
with osteoporosis take longer to heal than healthy bones, but with time,
medication and physical therapy, patients can often regain bone strength.
